Thank you, it's magical because it seems to make any scene better 😁
This is from about two and a half years ago, one of my first attempts at a landscape.

I was in the same boat two or so years ago. I only did cartoons and sketches and was completely afraid of landscapes. If you scroll back on my post history you can see my growth.
I worked at it, studied people, went to in person painting sessions, and so on to focus on getting better. No doubt you can do it, just keep painting and improving.
This is awesome! I can't wait to read the articles of how this goes wrong for dumbasses who use it. Should be fun!
The pink one hits different.
I couldn't agree more! I loved the idea of the Dodge Caliber for example. Not the execution or lack of quality mind you.
You're welcome and good luck!
Edit: I also render only on one layer, not multiple. The sketch / drawing is on a layer and the rendering / painting is on a separate layer. No more than that.
I find when using multiple layers the different elements look more like I cut them out of a magazine and pasted them on than part of the same painting.
These are screenshots of the settings I primarily change to get it. Another way is to reduce opacity of the brush and slowly work up to a blended look a brush stroke at a time which is what I used to do before Photoshop way back in the before times.


You absolutely can!
And it's a property of the brush I'm using. I use infinite painter and it has a lot of default brushes plus I've downloaded a ton more and made a few of my own.
Not what I was trying to do at the time but Bob Ross would be proud of that happy little accident!
Looks great! Nice work! I look forward to seeing more.
